Brit met Doug and I at the best bar in the city to play cards and do a trade.

I can't tell you where it is because you might tell people and then the halter tops would show up there. Making it NOT the best bar in the city. If you know me in real life, you know where I'm talking about.

I did another trade live, onstage at Laffhole on 10/10/07. Those guys are so much fun.

This anonymous donor came by and offered me this expired credit card costume. S/he was the crowd favorite - is it because of the costume? Sexy credit card legs? Her/His good credit? The dance s/he did while wearing it?

So Lauri lost the Laffhole competition

But just barely.

I don't think she really wanted to haul this sculpture/doll thing back home again, so I traded her backstage. Okay, okay, I'm making it sound like I wasn't jumping up and down yelling, "Oh, come on! Trade me! Come on!" which I wasn't. At least not on the outside.

I gave Lauri the prized Barbie Monster Fish that I got from Ariane who lives in Wyoming and made a cardboard cutout of me. Lauri better take really good care of it. Or she'll have me to deal with.

Jake traded me a painting of USDA prime meat cuts and a pin up girl by his friend Toast, a Pokemon drawing that he did and an autographed copy of "Other Voices - A Literary Journal Created by People wth Mental Illnesses" for the Grab Bag Mystery Item that I can never reveal for reasons you don't need to know about.

We met in front of Best Buy in Northgate...which means one thing: We're right by TARGET! Coming from the Midwest, I love Target. Love it. I went there. It was great.

Jeromy and I tried to do this trade a few weeks ago on some holiday weekend.

And he called to cancel because some friends showed up and he had to barbeque. Just moments before he called, we got an invite to a barbeque as well. So we said, "Forget this trading thing. Let's go get us some barbeque." And that was that. For a little while. Then Jeromy came by my place with Stone, Wood and Wire Faces and we did a little trade off.

I met Adam at a Christmas party where a fight broke out over who got to trade me for Arndt Bow's tombstone.

No one got it...and no one was injured...they had to agree that neither of them would trade me for it for the sake of their friendship.

Adam and Ashley are awesome and artistic and make fantasticfortune telling cards that we have hanging all around our bathroom mirror. I invited (forced) them to come to Laffhole to offer me a trade item live on stage. They did it. And WON!
